Charles,
seems like i should borrow any power amp from friends to try out
anyone ever listen to quad power amp ?
need advise, which is the weakest link in my audio chain
Hi all, i am new here and this is my first post.
need some opinion and advise, which gear do you think is the weakest link that i should improve/change.
i wish to have sweet sound and detail but not fatiguing
my experience on current setup not really meet my preference :-
- a bit forward sound
- sometime may a little dry/harsh sounding when source recording is poor
- lack of sweet top end
pre amp - bryston bp6
power amp - lexicon nt-212 (same as bryston 3bst)
speaker - spendor sp1
cd player - marantz cd6006
dac - rega dac
tuner - yamaha t1 & sony st-sa5es
sorry for my poor english.
thank you.
I'd say DAC is your weak spot. The DAC is the heard of the digital system. In your cord discussion you said the DAC is not in use. So you are using the DAC in he CD player to convert to analog. Not high end. Tuners are not so good. I guess you aren't streaming. So I don't see how you are delivering a high quality signal to your system. Jerry |
No doubt that the DAC is (Actually any signal chain component) an important contributor to the overall sound quality and character. However, given @soix comments above, the Bryston amplifier is worthy of suspicion. Charles |
